I'm stopping to smell em

I've been working on projects nonstop all weekend. I'm not sure if crawling around on my knees sanding, priming and painting trim and walls is a good plan for 4 days before due date, but I did it anyway. We heard that new babies are like milkshakes, bringing all the boys to the yard guests to your house, so we decided to give our guest room a complete overhaul in anticipation. There was this (ok, the walls were painted in April):

Then this happened over the weekend:

And the real time-suck of my Saturday, this awful water-damaged closet with more stanky carpet and miles of cracked, flesh-colored trim:

The major work is done and I am tired now. So today, I'm enjoying smelling my roses.

This lovely Memorial Day afternoon, I'm going to be relaxing on the beach and walking in the sand. Maybe that will kick my labor into gear?? I will share the finished guest room just as soon as I'm done making the curtains, so....in a year.

About Me

My name is Sara. I am a home owner/renovator, photographer, and stay at home mom in the Chicago area trying to cram all kinds of projects into the time my son is at school. Ashford is 3, and I had our second baby Zach December 2015, so things are pretty busy around here! I like slightly inappropriate humor, wine, and stalking house blogs. I love starting new DIY projects and sometimes hate finishing them. I love taking portraits of families, children and couples whenever I can. This blog is all about the projects my husband and I tackle, the projects that fizzle, and the funny things that happen to us along the way.
